V-Net Apokalypse is known as one of the award winning games of the last 2 decades. Capturing the hearts of many as it delivered an experience similar to that of real life.

•

V-Net Apokalypse allowed you to interact with the world around you in a way that you could never with just any VRMMO. The graphics were stylized but felt realistic to a point where the fur of a dog feels natural to touch, it is easy to lose yourself in the immersion.

7 years ago came the newest generation to play this game, aptly called the NeoGen/s, and most players expected the game to remain the same. However when the NeoGens came, so did the tragedy that befell our world.

•

NeoGens themselves weren't bad people, it's what they brought with them that caused havoc; Hackers who have never accessed the files before suddenly had access and turned the game into chaos. Giving Players freedom to edit the game as much as they wanted, and allowing themselves admin access to the main server and master code. It was since dubbed as the "NeoGen Data Leak Tragedy" or the "DLT" for short.

•

Normally players can reach a game over screen in the game when dying to an entity, but they can easily revive with a press of a button. However, the hackers who enabled the DLT called themselves the "Seven Deadly Viruses" edited a certain location in the game where the players can immerse themselves with the code to a point where the Player's personal code is exposed as well. This would result in those player's death and unlike the usual, it doesn't trigger the death screen only being able to hold the Player's consciousness and causing them eternal pain. They called it "V-01D"

•

This turned off the favorability of most ElderGen players and increased most of their fear of the game. A game which kills a player usually would be shut down, the government who funded it's neural research on how the brain works allowed- no Forced the creators to keep it online.

•

It's been 7 years since the DLT and nowadays there are still NeoGen players willing to play the game spending their lives or at least the rest of it inside playing the abundance of minigames brought by the Free editing brought by the Viruses. If you wonder why I say the rest of their lives, well it's because no NeoGen player returns after playing usually committing Su*\¢*\D3 through entering the V-01D. Thus when someone hears a person say that they want to become a "NeoGen player" they associate them with wanting death for themselves. And when a parent realizes that their child entered the game they would stare at them on their beds crying and cursing themselves... Good for them I guess.
